Zohran Mamdani’s endorsements produce a sweep as Darializa Avila Chevalier defeats Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th District, reflecting a shift toward socialist platforms focused on housing and immigration.Espaillat, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, outraised Avila Chevalier $2.6M to $1.1M and won backing from Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, but could not overcome the momentum of candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America.The results deepen divisions inside the Democratic Party, draw criticism over candidates’ positions on Israel and policing, and present a test of whether Mayor
Zohran Mamdani’s affordability agenda can translate into sustained congressional influence.
